AI know-how I use every day, can I make money from this?
According to Google Korea recently, 7 out of 10 Koreans said they are interested in AI competency training. As the demand to learn 'how to write better' beyond just using AI grows, more and more people are making profits by making their own know-how to use AI through e-books or lectures. If you want to turn your AI know-how into a profit, find out today's content from the pros and cons of each method to how to make your first profit through crowdfunding.
1. AI e-books and lectures, where should I start? Compare 3 Sales Channels
Sales channels can be largely divided into SNS, commerce/smart stores, and crowdfunding.
1) SNS (blog, Instagram, YouTube)
- Advantages: It is most commonly used because it has a low barrier to entry so anyone can start right away.
- Disadvantages: It is difficult to charge content due to the nature of channels overflowing with free information. Also, it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to connect views to revenue.
2) Commerce/Smart Store
- Advantage: I can monetize my know-how by turning it into a 'paid product'.
- Disadvantages: We need to spend capital to complete the manuscript or lecture in advance without the purchase demand being verified.
3) Crowdfunding (Wadiz)
- Advantages: After pre-ordering, it is manufactured after checking the actual payment demand with the production structure, so you can safely check the market reaction and secure initial profits.
- Disadvantages: There is a fixed period of time for the project to proceed.
2. Three reasons why AI e-book and lecture monetization and 'crowdfunding' are the correct answer
1) Before production, we can verify the 'market demand' first.
Wadiz is a 'pre-order and manufacture' method, and after receiving the payment first, only the confirmed quantity is in production. If you are a maker who monetizes AI know-how for the first time, you can safely check the market reaction and secure initial profits.
2) The process of solving problems with AI itself becomes a persuasion point
On the Wadiz detail page, you can truly show your own trial and error and achievements, such as "the process of completing what used to take 13 hours a day in 30 minutes with AI" and "the process of using AI to make actual profit." These specific experiences increase content reliability and naturally lead to payment.
3) The average achievement rate of Wadiz's AI-related e-book and class projects is 2,920%
The median price of the most paid rewards is not as low as 179,000 won. This means that Wadiz has enough demand to "pay for AI know-how that's really helpful."

3. A case of successful funding with AI know-how
Success story 1. Blorism that achieved more than 100 million won by making AI work automation know-how into e-books
- Funding achievement rate of 69,169% and recruitment amount of KRW 345 billion
- Successful TIP) We brought to the fore the actual experience of completing tasks that took 13 hours a day with AI automation in just 30 minutes. Demonstrate time to save with AI and help supporters understand the value of know-how at a glanceI made it possible.
Success story 2. Semo who achieved KRW 87 million through know-how in utilizing 'AI employees' for self-employed people
- Funding achievement rate of 17,417% and recruitment amount of 87 million won
- Successful TIP) It provides AI utilization that learns the systems of 15 billion companies, and emphasizes that it can reduce the time spent on repeat tasks for self-employed people. In particular, it was an intuitive message of "employment of AI staff" rather than "learning AI," so that supporters could easily understand the value of the content.
4. 3 Ways to Increase AI E-book and Lecture Funding Success Rate
(1) Please show us your AI performance in numbers
- "Saving 300 hours" rather than "My work got faster"
- "Saving 1 million won for working out" rather than "reduced costs"
AI know-how is better delivered when you show what changes after learning. If you show the results in visible numbers, such as saved time, money, and self-made profits, supporters can easily expect, "I can be this different."
(2) Show us 'problem → AI utilization → change' well
- Recurring tasks that used to take 3 hours every day → AI automation → Complete in 30 minutes
Show me what kind of inconvenience you had and how you solved it with AI. Supporters can naturally connect with their concerns, making it easier to understand why this know-how is needed.
(3) Get attention even before the opening with notification application and support signature events
- Additional benefits such as summaries, prompts, and checklists are provided when applying for notifications
Prepare small benefits before opening and gather notification applications from interested supporters in advance. The waiting supporter participates right after the opening, helping to speed up the initial performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Do I have to complete the manuscript or lecture content from scratch to open the funding?
A. No, I'm not. Wadiz has a "pre-order and manufacture" structure, so you can check the confirmed payment quantity first and then start production in earnest. However, it is better to provide detailed information on the detailed page about the table of contents, preview of key contents, and the expected timing of provision so that supporters can trust and pay.
Q. I already have funding with similar AI know-how, can I open it with overlapping topics?
A. Yes, it's possible. As you can see in the above case, even similar big topics such as "work automation" and "AI employee utilization" are sufficiently differentiated if their actual experience and specific numbers (saving time, achievement revenue, etc.) are different. Rather, it means that there is a demand that has already been verified in the same category, so it is more important to show your own trial and error story sincerely.
Q. What additional gifts should I give at the notification application and support signature event?
A. It is recommended to provide benefits that increase the value of my rewards, such as extending the duration of the VOD course, giving additional undisclosed appendix PDFs or actual templates, and providing 1:1 feedback.
